Approximately 365 Days In A Life

$9.95 specials are always nice and Reactor’s is no less wonderful. Pizzas, focaccias and some pastas are covered at this simple pay up-front cafe.

The chicken, bacon and pesto focaccia is simply presented, with a healthy serve of salad and chips. The focaccia itself is nice, fresh chicken combining well with the pesto and tomato. The bacon is half fat, however, and is disappointing for its lack of enhancing the meal. The chips are very good, with the perfect balance of crunch and potato to provide the right texture and taste (also aided by its satisfactory amount of salt). The sauce presented in a little plastic tub is a nice touch. It’s certainly not anything special but is a good enough focaccia.

Reactor is a fairly standard shopping centre cafe but is looked at more than others due to its reasonable prices. The food is good but nothing memorable, yet that small hit to your pocket might mean it’s value for money.
